DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Nevertheless, it is not necessary to require that any technical solutionaccording to the embodiments of the present application achieves all ofthe above technical effects.

For better understanding of the technical solutions of the embodimentsof the present application by a person skilled in the art, the technicalsolutions of the present application are clearly and completelydescribed with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodimentsof the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments areonly a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather thanthe entire embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the presentapplication, all other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skillin the art without any creative efforts shall fall within the protectionscope of the present application.

Specific implementations of the embodiments of the present applicationare further described hereinafter with reference to the accompanyingdrawings of the present application.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an identity validity verification methodaccording to a first embodiment of the present application. The methodaccording to this embodiment is applied to an electronic terminal incommunication with an access control system, and includes the followingsteps:

S101: Biometric feature data is acquired.

In this embodiment, biometric feature data and fingerprint data of auser are acquired by using a biometric feature acquisition modulearranged on an electronic terminal such as a smart phone. The electronicterminal herein includes, but not limited to, smart phones and tabletcomputers. In this embodiment and embodiments hereinafter, solutions ofthe present application are described using a smart phone as an example.It should be noted that the description herein is only for illustrativepurposes, but shall not be understood as limitations to the solutions ofthe present application.

With the development of science and technologies, fingerprint chips arebecoming cheaper and cheaper. It is more and more expectable that smartphones are equipped with fingerprint chips. It is more and morepractical and feasible that fingerprint data of the user is acquired byusing a fingerprint acquisition module. In this embodiment andembodiments hereinafter, the fingerprint acquisition module may be abiometric feature acquisition module based on electric field sensing.Correspondingly, the biometric feature data is biometric featureelectric field data. In addition, the fingerprint acquisition module mayalso be a biometric feature acquisition module based on optical sensing.Correspondingly, the biometric feature data is biometric feature imagedata. The biometric feature data is mainly a pattern of fingerprinttexture, but does not exclude detailed feature points of the userincluding the fingerprint texture acquired only from the pattern offingerprint texture, for example, valley and ridge feature points or thelike.

S102: An electronic private key is generated based on the biometricfeature data.

A function mapping relationship between the biometric feature data and afirst array is established. The first array is a set including aplurality of character strings. The plurality of character strings issorted and then read by using a time pointer. That is, data, that is,the character strings, in the first array one-to-one corresponds to timesegments. That is, a time segment uniquely corresponds to a characterstring. A time interval of the time segment may be defined according tothe actual needs, for example, 60 seconds. That is, within 60 seconds, acharacter string is generated, and another character string is generatedwithin next 60 seconds. Different time segments correspond to differentcharacter strings. The first array herein one-to-one corresponds to thebiometric feature data. Different users correspond to different firstarrays. With respect to different users, the mapping relationshipsbetween the biometric feature data and the first array are alsodifferent. As such, the generated electronic key is unique, and onlycorresponds to one user. Apparently, the character strings in the firstarray are used as an electronic private key which does not include thebiometric feature data. Even if the character strings in the first arrayis acquired by other users, private information of the user, forexample, the pattern of fingerprint texture, may not be acquired basedon the acquired character strings.

Different users have different biometric feature data. With respect todifferent users, the corresponding first arrays are also different.Therefore, uniqueness of the electronic private key is ensured.

S103: The electronic private key is sent to the access control system,such that the access control system carries out identity validityverification based on the electronic private key.

In this embodiment, to prevent the electronic key from being interceptedduring transmission, and being for identity verification and mainly usedfor unlocking the access control system to enter a security regionwithout authorization, after the electronic private key is generatedbased on the biometric feature data, the electronic private key isencrypted on the electronic terminal, and the encrypted electronicprivate key is sent to the access control system via a communicationmodule on the electronic terminal. In this way, leakage of the privatedata of the user is prevented, and thus security is enhanced.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an identity validity verification methodaccording to a second embodiment of the present application. Thisembodiment illustrates a method flowchart of identity validityverification carried out by a user after an electronic terminalautomatically starts a biometric feature acquisition module when theelectronic terminal matches with an access control system. In thisembodiment, prior to step S101 in the first embodiment, the method mayfurther include the following steps:

S201: Paring is carried out with a wireless communication module of theaccess control system when the wireless communication module of theaccess control system is detected within an effective communicationdistance.

In this embodiment, a module carrying out communication with the accesscontrol system on the electronic terminal is a wireless communicationmodule. The wireless communication module includes a Bluetoothcommunication module or a visible light communication module or aninfrared communication module. Correspondingly, a communication moduleof the access control system is a wireless communication module. Thewireless communication includes a Bluetooth communication or a visiblelight communication module or an infrared communication module. In thisembodiment, the solution according to this embodiment is described usinga Bluetooth communication module as an example.

Because of unique characteristics of Bluetooth, the paring only needs tobe performed once. Upon completion of the paring, the electronicterminal, for example, a smart phone, may remember the paired Bluetoothcommunication module. In subsequent steps, the paring does not need tobe performed again. In addition, the current smart phones are mostlyequipped with the Bluetooth communication module, with no need ofadditionally purchasing devices and materials. Therefore, cost may notbe increased. When a smart phone equipped with the Bluetoothcommunication module approaches the access control system by a specificrange, the Bluetooth communication module of the smart phone issuccessfully paired with a Bluetooth communication module of the accesscontrol system. In this way, the electronic terminal is connected to theaccess control system in a wireless mode. For example, the wirelesscommunication module of the smart phone and the wireless communicationmodule of the access control system enter an effective communicationdistance, and the smart phone automatically starts the wirelesscommunication module to pair with the wireless communication module ofthe access control system.

S202: The biometric feature acquisition module is started.

After the Bluetooth communication module of the electronic terminaldetects the Bluetooth communication module of the access control systemand is connected to the Bluetooth communication module of the accesscontrol system, a biometric feature management page and an acquisitionprompt item are loaded on the electronic terminal to prompt the user toinput fingerprints and start the biometric feature acquisition module.The user may press against the biometric feature acquisition module witha finger, such that the electronic terminal acquires biometric featuredata of the user and thus generates a corresponding electronic privatekey.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the biometric feature acquisition moduleis a fingerprint acquisition module based on optical sensing, andcorrespondingly, the biometric feature data is biometric feature imagedata. Alternatively, the biometric feature acquisition module is afingerprint acquisition module based on electric field sensing, andcorrespondingly, the biometric feature data is biometric featureelectric field data. When the acquired biometric feature data is afingerprint pattern, the fingerprint pattern may include break points,bifurcation points and turning points. These break points, bifurcationpoints and turning points are used for identifying features in thefingerprint pattern. Therefore, these break points, bifurcation pointsand turning points need to be extracted from the acquired fingerprintpattern. That is, effective biometric feature data needs to be generatedbased on the biometric feature data, and an electronic public key needsto be generated based on the effective biometric feature data.

With the identity validity verification method applied to an electronicterminal according to the above embodiments of the present application,fingerprint data of a user is acquired on an electronic terminal, anddata interaction is carried out with an access control system, therebycompleting identity verification for the user. As such, a dedicatedfingerprint identification device does not need to be arranged at aspecific position, and thus fingerprint data of a user does not remainon the fingerprint identification device. Therefore, convenient isbrought to the user and security is enhanced.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an identity validity verification methodaccording to a third embodiment of the present application. The methodaccording to this embodiment is applied to an access control system, andincludes the following steps:

S301: An electronic private key sent by an electronic terminal isreceived.

After the electronic terminal matches with the access control system,the access control system may receive an electronic private key sent bythe electronic terminal One electronic private key corresponds to oneuser.

S302: The electronic private key is pared with a pre-stored electronicpublic key to carry out identity validity verification.

It should be noted that before unlocking the access control system, auser needs to register his or her personal information in the accesscontrol system. In this embodiment, the electronic public key includingbiometric feature data is pre-stored in the access control system, andthe electronic public key is generated by the electronic terminal Afterthe biometric data of the user is pre-acquired by the electronicterminal, a function mapping relationship between the biometric data anda second array including a plurality of character strings isestablished, the plurality of character strings is sorted and read byusing a time pointer and the read character strings are used as theelectronic public key, or the read character strings are transformed andthe transformed character strings are used as the electronic public key.The access control system stores the electronic public key. Descriptionis given using a scenario where the biometric feature data is afingerprint pattern as an example. That is, the user needs to firstlyacquires the fingerprint data (fingerprint pattern) of the user via anelectronic device, for example, a smart phone.

An electronic public key is generated and then sent to the accesscontrol system; the access control system receives the electronic publickey sent by the smart phone stores the electronic public key to matchwith the electronic private key to perform identity validityverification for the user. In this way, the access control system onlystores the electronic public key corresponding to the user, but does notstore the fingerprint data of the user. This further prevents thefingerprint data of the user from leakage, and thus enhances security.That is, the access control system only locally stores the electronicpublic key, but does not store the biometric feature data. In thisembodiment, the access control system may further extract effectivebiometric features in the fingerprint data, that is, break points,bifurcation points and turning points in the fingerprint pattern, andgenerate the electronic public key based on the break points,bifurcation points and turning points in the fingerprint pattern.

In addition, since the electronic terminal is capable of encrypting theelectronic private key, when the electronic private key received by theaccess control system is an electronic private key encrypted by theelectronic terminal, the access control system decrypts the encryptedelectronic private key, and pair the decrypted electronic private keywith the electronic public key stored in the access control system. Ifthe paring is successful, it is determined that the user is authorized.In this case, the fingerprint data of the user may be used for unlockingthe access control system. If the paring fails, it is determined thatthe user is unauthorized. In this case, the fingerprint data of the usermay not be used for unlocking the access control system.

Specifically, the paring the decrypted electronic private key with theelectronic public key includes: generating a paring credential based onthe decrypted private key and the electronic public key locally storedin the access control system, where the paring credential is generatedby using a generation algorithm pre-stored in the access control systemcorresponding to the generation algorithm of the paring credential, andthe access control system pre-stores a credential verification rule;after the paring credential is generated, verifying the paringcredential based on the predefined credential verification rule; andperforming identity validity verification for the user based on averification result. When the paring credential matches with thecredential verification rule, it is determined that the verification issuccessful and the user is authorized. In this case, the electronicprivate key sent by the user via the electronic terminal may be used forunlocking the access control system, and meanwhile, the access controlsystem is unlocked such that the user is allowed to access the system.When the verification fails, the user is unauthorized. In this case, theelectronic public key sent by the user via the electronic terminal maynot be used for unlocking the access control system, and meanwhile, theaccess control system fails to be unlocked such that the user is notallowed to access the system.
